Patients, visitors and staff at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre (RDRHC) have a new opportunity to enhance their awareness of Indigenous culture.

A new mural, created by local Indigenous artist Ryan Jason Allen Willert, can now be viewed in the corridor that links the emergency department with the main part of the hospital.

“We are committed to working with Indigenous leaders, communities and people across Alberta to ensure our health facilities are safe and culturally appropriate spaces for everyone,” says Sarah Hoffman, Alberta’s Minister of Health. “This project is creative and inspires all of us to continue working towards reconciliation and improving health outcomes and services for Indigenous people and families.”
